Familarity with Hatha Yoga Certificate Course

The majority of yoga being practiced in the globe is Hatha Yoga, involving Asanas (yoga postures), pranayama (breathing practices), Kriyas (internal cleansing techniques), Bandhas (muscular locks and contractions), and Mudras (hand gestures and seals), to greater or lesser degrees depending on the system of yoga. Hatha yoga is a highly refined system of Holistic Health and well-being, addressing all layers of the self are not separate but interrelated, affecting one another. If the body is sick, the mind, heart, and spirit are all diminished, and vice versa; if the heart is depressed, the mind, spirit, and body are lethargic; and so forth. Considered a science with sophisticated techniques and practices, Hatha yoga effectively balances and strengthens every system of the body – the musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, digestive, nervous, and endocrine systems – allowing practitioners to release tension, increase circulation, eliminate toxins, and restore Natural Health and vitality.
